Product Description

With Readings for the Fatigued

This innovative text offers a comprehensive survey of international political economy, but it is a survey with a difference. Built around a carefully selected set of nonacademic readings, it not only reviews the traditional analytical narratives and documents the transition from international to world political economy, but also critiques the rationalist bias of the discipline.In pursuit of the clarity that rationalist discourse allows, posits Pettman, researchers too often eschew an indispensable source of knowledge about IPE. The subjective, the emotive, the personal, and the experiential are actively avoided. And the result as much blinds as illuminates.Thus, Pettman encourages the student not only to stand back and "look" at IPE, but equally to move in close and "listen". Understanding International Political Economy (with readings for the fatigued!) introduces this important area of human knowledge in an exciting and provocative way, while demonstrating that information and insights are to be gained from the less, as well as the more, conventional accounts of what is involved.
